Chapter 2253 Discovered
Chapter 2253: Discovered! Chapter 2253: Discovered! Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation If the ancient formation was too strong or complex, then Ye Chen would surely return in defeat. However, since he was already in the Demon Venerable’s Palace, Ye Chen knew he must visit the rear of the mountain. With his mind made up, Ye Chen prepared to proceed to the rear of the mountain. The longer he delayed, the more likely he was to be exposed. As he exited his room, the disciples he encountered along the way bowed respectfully to him. It was evident that this medical elder held a distinguished status here. As he approached the rear of the mountain, Ye Chen suddenly halted. He narrowed his eyes. There were three individuals from the Divine Kingdom not far away. The jade tokens hanging from their waists were identical to the one worn by the Saintess of the Shenxuan Sect. However, these three individuals were remarkably young, and their cultivation levels were beneath the eighth-level of the Sealed Gate Sect. It could be said that the geniuses of the Divine Kingdom far surpassed those of the Lingwu Continent. The crucial question was, why would the people of the Divine Kingdom appear in the heart of the Demon Territory? At that moment, the three Divine Kingdom experts, adorned in resplendent robes, entered the hall. Jun Mochen was indeed colluding with the Divine Kingdom! Ye Chen did not expect this revelation at all. He continued on his way to the rear of the mountain, choosing to keep the matter of the Divine Kingdom to himself. Before long, Ye Chen came to a halt once more. He sensed that if he took another step forward, he would suffer a devastating fate. Before him lay the ancient formation established by Jun Mochen, which was imbued with world-destroying power. Moreover, the eye of the formation resided in its deepest part. If he did not even possess the qualifications to enter, how could he possibly break the formation core? This formation was nearly unbreakable. “It appears that Jun Mochen’s skill with formations is indeed astonishing. With such a formation, not even I, nor a Great Void realm expert, can handle it.” “Am I truly going to turn back just like this?” Ye Chen felt a sense of reluctance. At that moment, a shadow emerged before Ye Chen. The shadow bore a sword case on his back and radiated a sharp sword aura. “Master! Can you break this formation?” Ye Chen inquired eagerly. Feng Qingyang shook his head. “If it were my main body, I might indeed be able to break it. However, the power of my divine soul is far from sufficient.” “Then why have you come out, Master?” Ye Chen’s eyes narrowed. Feng Qingyang stepped forward, his sleeves fluttering in the wind. “Although I cannot break it, that does not mean others cannot.” “Furthermore, if my Six Paths Sword Case absorbs the power of this formation, perhaps the remaining three swords can be used sooner.” Ye Chen recalled the Divine Doctor Cang Gu and sighed. “Master, if you are referring to that peculiar old man, do not rely on him. He will not assist me in undoing this formation.” In Ye Chen’s view, only the Divine Doctor Cang Gu possessed the ability to resolve Jun Mochen’s formation. “I am not referring to the Ancient Divine Doctor.” Feng Qingyang smiled. “Then who do you mean?” Ye Chen was taken aback. He was about to speak when a giant egg materialized out of thin air. The giant egg shimmered with dazzling red and blue light. It was, in fact, Little Gold! Moreover, Ye Chen was astonished to discover that cracks had formed on the eggshell. The cracks were exceedingly strange, appearing as if they were painting a picture. Could it be that when these cracks converged, Little Gold would break free from its shell? Little Gold was bubbling with excitement and flitted around Ye Chen. Suddenly, the egg charged toward the formation! “Little Gold, come back!” Ye Chen’s expression changed drastically. The power of the formation was potent enough to shatter the giant egg! However, Little Gold was too fast, and Ye Chen was unable to stop it. One second. Two seconds. Three seconds… Ye Chen’s expression shifted. Little Gold had breached the formation of violent energy and remained unharmed. Moreover, it was actively absorbing the power of the formation! Ye Chen then recalled that Little Gold had consumed the ancient formation in the Universe Death Domain. It seemed the Little Gold was entirely unafraid of this formation as well. “Disciple, do not underestimate this creature,” Feng Qingyang remarked with a smile. “The rib bone this fellow refined is not merely the rib bone of an Ancient Lion Demon War God.” “There is another ancient expert’s blood essence contained within that rib.” “Otherwise, do you truly believe Little Gold would take so long to refine it?” As he spoke, Feng Qingyang retrieved the Six Paths Sword Case, and six swords floated into view. Little Gold evidently recognized Feng Qingyang’s presence and gathered a trace of the formation’s energy into the sword case. Ten minutes later, a massive hole was torn in the formation. It was large enough for one person to enter. Feng Qingyang stored the sword case filled with formation energy. He said with satisfaction, “Disciple, hurry up and enter. If you delay any longer, Jun Mochen will discover you.” Ye Chen nodded, his expression serious. He gently stroked Little Gold and stepped into the formation. The rear of the mountain was engulfed in dense fog. Ye Chen was taken aback to realize that the fog contained poison energy. If an ordinary cultivator were to come into contact with it, they would undoubtedly perish! He was unsure of how Jun Mochen had acquired this fog. While other experts might fear this fog, Ye Chen was not daunted. He possessed the Immortal Divine Body, the Red Dust Divine Bloodline, and even the Demon Body. Additionally, he had consumed the Heavenly Mist Demon and learned the Mist divine power. In comparison, this poisonous fog was no big deal. Ye Chen vanished in an instant. In the blink of an eye, he appeared at the center. To Ye Chen’s astonishment, there was merely one altar in the expansive area. Around the altar were spacetime, divine, and even true god artifacts! “I cannot acquire such substantial treasures anywhere else.” “Since you have presented these to me, Jun Mochen, I thank you for your generous gift.” Ye Chen stored the artifacts into the Samsara Graveyard. With such an abundance of artifacts, he would be able to use the Thousand Artifacts Explosion many more times, or for one big bang. After that, Ye Chen’s gaze fell upon the center of the altar. There, he spotted a black jade bottle. As Ye Chen approached the black jade bottle, he felt a sharp pain from his forehead. This jade bottle was undoubtedly linked to the Demon Emperor, and it was likely where the Demon Emperor’s blood essence was stored. Ye Chen’s breath quickened. He did not wish to waste any more time. His five fingers brushed the jade bottle. He harbored no fears, but remaining in Jun Mochen’s domain, filled with experts, was fraught with danger. He needed to leave immediately! However, the moment Ye Chen’s hand made contact with the jade bottle, the entire altar erupted in an explosion. Endless energy currents surged forth, and Ye Chen’s body was thrown backward. At that very moment, Jun Mochen opened his eyes in the palace. His eyes blazed with crimson flames. This was a sign of Jun Mochen’s fury! He rose to his feet and soared into the sky. “All elders, proceed to the rear of the mountain!” “Some fool dared to touch my possessions!” Even though there was only one formation blocking the rear of the mountain, once someone touched the Demon Emperor’s blood essence, he would be immediately aware if someone else attempted to seize it. Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! The auras of experts surged into the sky. They could sense the Demon Venerable’s wrath, but they remained unaware of what had transpired. At the rear of the mountain, Ye Chen’s expression turned grim. From the moment the altar exploded, he knew that he had been discovered.
